Down the street a bit from the Denton Square is the longstanding bar and music venue Dan’s Silverleaf. Decorated with local art and photos of local musicians, the atmosphere at Dan’s is welcoming to all passersby. With shows held weekly (if not daily) Dan’s is an excellent place to stop in even if you have […]
Deep Ellum Art Co. is in one of the most trafficked neighborhoods in Dallas, so it makes sense that you’d find a spot that offers live music, lots of art and a good mix of drinks and grub from food trucks. The inside space is a whopping 5,000 square feet and boasts of being home […]
This Big D live-music landmark and raucous sports bar straddles the West End and Victory Park, just a few blocks from the location it held for more than 20 years. Dick’s is a home away from home for those unable to score game tickets at the American Airlines Center for myriad reasons, among them the […]

The Door first opened the doors of its Deep Ellum all-ages location back in May 1998, and it’s been a popular place for young music fans to get their rocks off to the popular touring and local acts of every genre (with a slant toward pop, rock, punk rock and pop-punk). Together with its sister […]
Too hot in summer, too cold in late fall and just right depending on who’s playing (Peter Gabriel or Neil Young, say). In other words, great if you’re 10 rows from the stage, tolerable from the middle and like-you-give-a-damn if you’re on the grass, if you know what we mean.
When Deep Ellum starts to feel just a bit too crowded, you don’t have to look too far for an escape. The hipster honkey tonk dive bar Double Wide, all the way down on Commerce Street, offers a selection of cheap, powerful and interesting drinks that all fit in with its trailer park aesthetic. What […]

Located in historic downtown Plano, Eisenberg’s offers something for kids of all ages. There are bike and skate ramps, a skate shop, an arcade and the occasional rock show. Just blocks from the DART rail station.
The Elbow Room, which sits on the outskirts of Deep Ellum near Baylor Hospital, has been relatively immune to the nearby nightlife district’s ups and downs over the last decade. Even though it’s still within earshot of Trees on a loud night, this neighborhood bar has a much mellower atmosphere. The raw brick interior lines […]

The manager of Escapade 2001 claims the club’s dance floor is “one of the largest in the metroplex”– beaten only by a dance floor in an old gutted Walmart. The dance floor, located in the middle of the club, is surrounded by at least a half a dozen bars on various elevated levels. The club’s […]
For years Exposition Park’s Fallout Lounge has been a hipster hub for the neighborhood. The reason? Cheap drinks and good music, emphasis on the music. The bar draws some of the area’s top playlisters and the occasional band to its small, narrow space. The long bar on the left stretches almost to the back of […]
This new Irish-style pub offers great cheese boards, sliders with fries and pommes frites with a dipping-sauce trio of interesting alternatives to plain old ketchup. Befitting of a Euro-style pub, the Fillmore is clean and beautifully decorated with polished wood and sports sturdy, scarred, wooden tables. Unlike most bars in Ireland, though, it’s kept dark. […]
